When the venerable chuck roast meets Italian food, you get this Slow Cooker Beef Ragu Sauce. If you've been following this website for any length of time, you might know my love affair with the chuck roast. It's the most flavorful cut of beef, and perfect for the slow cooker. And I also LOVE Italian food, so this sauce is something I should have made long ago.

This will make your entire house smell AMAZING all day while it cooks. But don't cheat and serve it early! You've really got to let this one cook on low for at least 8 hours. The meat fibers in the chuck roast will slowly break down as this tough cut of meat becomes tender, melt-in-your-mouth bites of delicious beef mixed in a rich and robust tomato sauce.

Oh – and the absolute best part of this recipe? It's part of an AMAZING slow cooker meal plan where you will create 20 meals for about $160 in under 3 hours! Check it out ->

I made this a few weeks ago and froze it for when we had the baby. SOOOOOOO good! I will DEFINITELY be making this again. The only modifications I will be making are adding extra tomato paste because I like thicker sauce and aging mushrooms.
